"This book I really liked, but it's one I have to be in the exact mood for. There's no denying the writing genius of Victoria Holt, who also wrote under several other names. Her descriptions are breath-taking and whole, her vocabulary is miraculous, and her ability to weave a story into one's mind cannot be questioned. It's her style, though, to start at the beginning of a character's life and go to the end. Which is wonderful. But sometimes I'm too impatient a reader for that style.
However, I very much enjoyed this book. The main character was saucy and level-headed. I adored the relationship she shared with "Uncle" Toby, and the mystery, while maybe a titch predictable, was good. The story was tragic in itself, but showed that everything ends up right eventually, something I believe happens in real life as well as in novels. But then, fictions somehow shows life for what it really is in a way that we can accept it.
I suggest this book to mystery-lovers that have a hunger for the classic description too often skipped over in more modern fiction. Absolutely wonderful."
"The info about opals was really interesting. Descriptions and stories of the strange Australian outback--likewise. Didn't care much for the romantic parts, but it was overall an intense & fascinating book. Would recommend to females. Males might get bored."
"A used book store find, not sure this author is still in print. I enjoyed her style, this book reminded me some of Anne Perry. A touch of mystery and just a tad of romance. chick book"
